Concurrent Session: Guaranteed Income and Economic Mobility - Emerging Lessons from Foster Youth Pilots in California
Date & Time
Wednesday, September 29, 2021, 3:50 PM - 4:50 PM
Description

Guaranteed income has emerged as an innovative policy lever to advance economic security for all. Join this session to better understand the growing Basic Income movement and how it intersects with youth financial capability. 

In Santa Clara and San Francisco, MyPath is leading Guaranteed Income pilots supporting young people transitioning out of foster care and young parenting mothers, integrated with their financial mentoring program. Early results are promising, as is public commitment to the approach in California, where the legislature just passed a bill to expand the pilot statewide. This model of having stable income paired with financial mentoring can also be replicated in the workforce development field. In this session, MyPath will unpack these pilots and connect them to the youth-led Economic Bill of RYTS (Real Youth Troubles & Solutions), a policy platform created by young leaders from their programs.
